2. Like a expansion reservoir.

Thanks.

The mechanic that work on the car told me that i should put water to half level of it and also put water on the radiator and that once the water in the radiator drains, it will take from the reservoir to top it but i noticed that the top up is not being done. The reservoir is still full while the radiator water dries up.

I doubt... Its a foreign used car, imported into Nigeria in October last year.
if it's the windshield, atleast w will see traces of water inside the car but no single drop on either the seat or ontop of the plastic foot mat. Once I raise the mat, everywhere becomes really wet.

Check d Ac drain pipe..mayb wen u use ac d water doesn't go out..

There should be a blockage between that hose connecting the reservoir and the radiator, check properly

Will your fabled Toyota engine survive being driven without oil?

Do Toyota engines not burn oil?

Have you condemned Toyota because their engines burn oil?

There is no known engine defect in the 2014 to 20 Hyundai engine setup. Engines burn oil. Owners should check their engine oil after every fill-up.

Period.

did you not watch the part where he said 4 professional engine builders won't touch the car? Or where he said the dealer had 50 new engines in their inventory?
What does that tell you sir?

There's a leakage somewhere which is why the water in the radiator is drying up. You can start by checking your radiator cap, make sure it's closed properly or the inner rubber is weak which might cause a leakage before checking or parts of the cooling system to avoid unnecessary spending.
The cooling system of the engine is a closed system with very high pressure when it's hot & any tiny space or hole will lead loss of liquid also stop using water to avoid rust, use a good coolant.
Gazzuzz can shed more light & put you through.

Oga GAZZUZZ..

I need your advice pls.

My car (a 2005 Toyota camry) drives smoothly but leaks oil. I thought it was the normal engine oil but on closer look, discovered it was gear oil that was leaking.. I was introduced to a guy that fixes gear and said its the gear oil seal that needs to be replaced. He said my gear is 13 pin and is difficult to handle.

What scared me the most was when he said changing the seal might damage the gear with a 50% chance of damage to gear and 50% success chance.. he said he'll need to remove the shaft (which are also due for change as they've been making noises at full turn) before he can put the seal.

I need your advice please...

The radiator cap was changed by the mechanic when he noticed that it was bad. I will switch to coolat instead of water.

I drive a Toyota corolla 07. For sometime now, whenever I park my car especially at night and the engine gets cold, the engine fan will all of a sudden start working on its on and will stop like after a minute. It will stop and start again after some time. Atimes, I will have to come out at night to turn on and off the ignition so that it will stop. I have taken the car to different auto electricians but to no avail. Please sir, what could be said to be the problem.

Be like say kazeem don buy market for you. Pray that car doesn't catch fire one day.

I can predict that the thermostat of the car has been removed and fan connected directly to ignition.

pls what can be causing overheating on a matrix.. 07... this happens only in traffic and Ac is on... once i put off AC, temperature goes back to normal... on highway or regular driving i am fine with AC on...
Radiator is not leaking coolant too..
and i don't even have a check engine light on

Your village people have used GPS tracker to finally locate you. Take the car to Cele headquarters in Badagry so they can use their famous anointed broom to flog the demons residing in your engine bay.

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Do this and thank me later

Hi Gazzuzz. Thank you for your fantastic work here.

I own a Honda EOD and changed its gearbox some time in February. Some time in May, I made the mistake of trying to travel with it without checking its gear oil level. The car gave me issues during the trip, but after I added about 2 liters of transmission oil, it started working properly I had to turn back to Lagos that night due to traffic though. When I returned to Lagos I went to service the car and used Holts Transmission oil to replace the old one (which had developed a smell during that failed trip).

Now recently I have noticed that the gear doesn't always click into reverse on my first try. Some times it clicks in one try but a lot of times I'll have to take it to another gear and bring it back to R before it clicks. What's the problem? Is it a gear switch somewhere or something else?
